F. usurper.] To seize, and hold in possession, by force, or without right; as, to usurp a throne; to usurp the prerogatives of the crown; to usurp power; to usurp the right of a patron is to oust or dispossess him. [1913 Webster] Alack, thou dost usurp authority. --Shak. [1913 Webster] Another revolution, to get rid of this illegitimate and usurped government, would of course be perfectly justifiable. --Burke.
